Ingredients

60 ml Nor'easter Single Malt Whisky
10 ml Sugar Syrup
3 dashes of Aromatic Bitters

Orange zest for garnish

Method

1. Prepare the Mixing Glass: Begin by selecting a mixing glass, which is ideal for stirring and marrying the ingredients while maintaining clarity and texture.

2. Combine the Ingredients: Pour 60 ml of Nor'easter Single Malt Whisky, 10 ml of Shiraz Wine Reduction, 2 dashes of Aromatic Bitters, and 2 dashes of Orange Bitters into the mixing glass. This blend of whisky and wine reduction will offer a complex flavour profile, complemented by the aromatic and orange bitters.

3. Add Ice: Place ice cubes into the mixing glass to chill the mixture without over-diluting it. The ice also plays a vital role in the dilution process and achieving the right temperature.

4. Stir Gently: Using a bar spoon, gently stir the cocktail for about 20-30 seconds. This stirring process allows the flavors to meld together and reach their optimal balance.

5. Strain into a Rock Glass: Once the cocktail is properly stirred and chilled, strain it into a rock glass (also known as an Old Fashioned glass). This glass is perfect for showcasing the rich, bold flavors of this cocktail.

6. Add Ice and Garnish: Add a few fresh ice cubes to the glass to maintain the desired temperature. To garnish, place a grape leaf on top of the ice cubes. The grape leaf adds an element of visual appeal and a subtle herbal note to the drink.

7. Serve and Enjoy: Your Nor'easter Whisky and Wine Old Fashioned is now ready to be savoured. This cocktail offers a unique blend of flavours, where the Nor'easter whisky and aromatic bitters combine to create a memorable and sophisticated drinking experience.

In this cocktail, the whisky reigns supreme, and every element is thoughtfully balanced to create a timeless and memorable libation. Sip slowly, savouring the harmonious interplay of flavours and the enticing aroma of orange zest. Cheers to the art of crafting a perfect Old Fashioned!
